Thanks to whoever made the Feature Comparison Chart, that's exactly
the info I wanted.

AND, this is an excuse to repost my query re the Archos 6000. Someone
has one of these units for sale but they say it suffers skips/loud
cracks/sudden pauses playing back VBR MP3s encoded above 160kbs.

Will installing Rockbox make any difference to this?
+ can Archos units in general cope with such files?
